If You See This Lunar Phenomenon, You're Lucky
The Moon seems to be really close to Earth, but did you know that every planet in the Solar System, including Jupiter and Saturn, would fit between the Moon and us? "Black Moon" is a rare astronomical event that happens once every 2.5 years. It's an unofficial term that may mean the second new Moon in a month. Another meaning for this term is an event that happens about once every 19 years, when, unlike during a regular new moon, you'll be able to see its dark silhouette. Let's find out more about the "Black Moon," "Blue Moon," and "supermoon."
